" The Iron Cactus was a nice surprise during my Austin visit, but the service was lacking. While the ambiance was close to perfect, my order took a while to arrive, and when it did, it wasn’t as hot as I expected. The flavors were decent, but nothing really wowed me. I would give them another chance, possibly on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to try Iron Cactus, and it was everything I imagined it would be! The vibrancy of the decor caught my eye, and the food followed suit. The chicken tacos were flavorful, and the shared guacamole was fresh and delicious. I look forward to making this a regular dining spot when I’m back in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a visit recently and wow – the ambiance was top-notch, perfect for a casual night out! Unfortunately, my order was not great. I got the chicken enchiladas, but they just tasted bland to me. The service was quick, and my server was very nice, which made up for it a bit. If you go, I suggest asking others what to order! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner there last weekend, and it was fantastic! The food was authentic, and I particularly enjoyed the spicy salsa. Our server was quick and attentive, always checking up on us. The atmosphere had a nice buzz, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Iron Cactus has become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in Austin! I love their brisket tacos – they are always delicious and generous in portion. The ambiance is lively and perfect for socializing. However, I felt like our server was a bit slower this time, but it didn’t ruin our evening. Definitely a place I will continue to return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Iron Cactus has the best outdoor seating! I had the shrimp tacos, and they were fantastic along with a zesty margarita. The seasonings were on point! Our server was attentive but not overbearing, just what we needed. Truly a perfect spot to enjoy the downtown Austin vibe while indulging in some great Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried Iron Cactus during our trip to Austin. It was a great experience overall. The kids loved their meals, and I enjoyed my steak fajitas. They were seasoned well, but I wished they had a bit more heat. The staff was friendly, and the place had a welcoming vibe. I would return again when we’re in town. " (*Curated Review*)
